there are only 2 entities (according to the TF2 wiki there are a couple other things), and 1 is obsolete. maybe its something i need to do




P.S.i found it, but just a quick note, did you do anything to hammer for you to be able to do it?

I'm running the TF2 hammer, all vis groups are on but I still get big empty brushes when I place the entity, any more ideas?

'spose I should post to note that I made a minor update earlier today...

• A few entities were left out of the PLR visgroup, making visgroup-mark followed by copying incomplete.
• Disabled automatic sounds on all payload CPs and added a manually fired capture bell. (because everyone complained <_<)

There aren't enough thanks in the world for this. It is loaded every time I map.

Thanks again for keeping it updated.

Have you considered doing an overlay gallery?

This is totally awesome. Thanks!

I'm looking at how payload race works and this should be more than enough.

Sorry i am a noob, so when i spawn this i cannot see any objects only the orange things, i saw a comment which said visgroups must be enabled, but i have no idea how to do that. Second How do i move pros individually? And third how to remove the library once i am done?

View menu > Screen Elements > Filter Control. That panel lets you show/hide visgroups.
Your second two questions I'm not real sure about. Are you inserting the map as prefab or something? It's just a normal map file that you open in Hammer the same way you'd open your own map. Then you can copy and paste objects from the library into your map (Hammer is a multi-document editor, ctrl+tab or the Window menu switches).

This probably sounds dumb, but I cannot figure out how to copy and paste the system I need into my map? I have tried ctrl+c and ctrl+p to my map, and using the edit cut/copy/paste options as well. I open two copies of Hammer, one with my map and the other with the library but it wont let me copy and paste? After copying from one instance of Hammer I flip to the next and the paste is grayed out like it's not on the clipboard. But if I flip back to the library it will paste? Thanks for any help :).

Hammer is a multi-document program, you don't need to open two instances of it, and that's probably what's stopping you from pasting - the clipboard resides within the program memory itself. Just open both in the same instance of Hammer and you can switch between them with Ctrl+Tab or the Window menu (this is the same as any multi-document interface application, MS Word, Photoshop, etc).
